Please tone down your Mt Kenya rhetoric – KHALWALE tells GACHAGUA who is facing impeachment motion

Friday, September 27, 2024 - Kakamega County Senator, Dr. Boni Khalwale, has urged Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to tone down his Mt. Kenya rhetoric and focus on national politics, emphasizing that he is a leader for the entire country.

Addressing the DP on social media platform X on Thursday, Khalwale emphasized that Gachagua’s proximity to the presidency requires him to tone down his regional rhetoric.

“Mr. Deputy President, Rigathi, you are just a heartbeat away from the presidency. You have lectured us enough about Mount Kenya. It’s time to tone down, please,” Khalwale posted.

His comments follow Gachagua’s recent remarks during the interdenominational funeral service for 21 Hillside Academy victims at Mweiga Stadium.

The DP appealed for kindness towards the people of Mount Kenya, asserting their enduring presence in Kenya’s political landscape.

“These people were there, they are here today, and they will be here tomorrow. 

"I appeal to everyone to treat the people of the mountain with the kindness they deserve because it is the right thing to do,” Gachagua said.
